# Identify Speakers

To identify speakers

1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. In the `[Session]` section, add a new analysis task by setting the `EngineN` parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

       [Session]
       Engine0=Ingest
       Engine1=RecognizeSpeakers

3. Create a new section to contain the settings for the task, and set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The analysis engine to use. Set this parameter to `SpeakerID`.
   Input | (Optional) The audio track to process. If you do not specify an input track, Media Server processes the first track of the correct type produced by the ingest engine.
   Database | The name of the database to use to recognize speakers. If you do not set this parameter Media Server cannot identify speakers, but can divide the audio into different speakers and detect the gender of each speaker.
   MatchThreshold | (Optional) The minimum threshold that must be met to recognize a speaker, rather than output an "unknown" speaker.

   For example:

       [RecognizeSpeakers]
       Type=SpeakerID
       Database=news
       MatchThreshold=65

4. Save and close the configuration file. OpenText recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter.
